So, what's the future of CC on Flickr?
http://www.flickr.com/__**creativecommons/<http://www.flickr.com/__creat…
<http://www.flickr.com/**creativecommons/<http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/>>
shows only 260M CC images:
there were already 220M in 2011 if I read news correctly; only 60M
are free. 75 % of the times I ask a user to put an image under
cc-by-sa they choose -nc-nd because "it was the first option" (and
some of course "what, isn't Wikipedia non-commercial?!).
Is this the price to pay to Instagram, Tumblr and Facebook?
There are already lots of problems with Facebook (and various other
social networks) and free licenses. See this analysis here:

Yes but there's a difference between that and forcing good sources of free
knowledge like Flickr to drop this aspect
agreed :)
, which Facebook never had. :) (If this is what's
happening.)
Ah, of course they also removed the option to have unlimited uploads: only
current pro users can keep it, for the others there are only expensive
storage plans.
